The Ex Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Pere Egbi has said he and Mercy have genuine likeness for each other.

Naijahits recalls that the duo were engaged in a hot romance in the final week of the just concluded BBNaija All-Stars season.

Speaking in a recent interview with Africa Magic, Pere told Ebuka Obi-Uchendu that he had developed a likeness for Mercy even before the show.

He said, “I have seen her [Mercy]. Before the show, I was having a conversation with Cross, I know that she [Mercy] likes me and I like her.

“So there’s a mutual likeness. That should be the beginning of everything, whether it’s friendship or anything. We both like each other genuinely.”

On his relationship with KimOprah, Pere said, “There was nothing romantic with KimOprah. She has always been a friend. It’s just platonic friendship. I’ve known from outside the House. We’ve hung out several times. It was nothing out of the ordinary.”
